PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

well, don't you look cocky and smug

standing on your own  two feet

without the aide of contempt's rug

you say you've lost all will to pursue love

again

you've lost all respect for the sex of women

so you continue to keep me at arm and lust's length

how can I even hope to win over such exceptional

masculine strength

my face is nearly devoid of emotion

with only a track or two of dried away tears

just now on my life until today you've managed to

taint with self disgust many of my favorite years

and what is now to be my final sentence since you

have appointed yourself my sole judge and jury

don't for get to docket malice and blind fool's

love as another of my many other criminal activities

behind my former fury

you must take me for a complete imbecile

really its just a smooth veneer of forced indifference

it galls you because my most aggravated anger you  

have as yet managed to rile

if you want a pity party you know what number

you can dial

go back to your new old lover

she has all  the right attributes            

guilt

temper

selfishness

jealousy

and guile

anyway I've come to a most calculative conclusion

you are no longer my style

so do take a hike Kyle............
